In Leonardo’s Revenge and nine other stories, quirky characters and far-flung places illuminate dreams fulfilled, or thwarted, by personal belief and imagination.

Leonardo’s Revenge is the almost-true story of Leonardo Loma, an anarchist whose outrageous worldview and turn of phrase leads to a surprising decision.
The Writer’s Friend is the twisted tale of how youthful talent, loyalty and plagiarism follow Nicky, Fred, Shawna and Janu into adulthood. Future Shop’s Trudy and Josh are saved from the tedium of their work as professional shoppers by a new drug. Good Morning Café inspires faith in small miracles. Turning 12 arouses appreciation in the wake of a young woman’s tragedy. In The Darkness of Light you meet Ella Walker, a famous artist who pays the ultimate price for love. In Natural Power, Eva and Adam find the courage to be shaken to their core. Leaving San Miguel relates the young traveler’s impressions of this colorful Mexican town. Fiery Heart of Hawaii explodes in a dramatic encounter with Madam Pele. And in A Warped Proposal, the past and present are woven into a tapestry of hope.
